Does the 13th alternate need to be swapped out before the games start or could they join the team midway through the tournament?

The 13th player (official alternate) travels with the team to Paris and is there to step in in case of any injury. The clear solution is to just let each team name 14 instead of 12 but the IOC will never comply. They are trying to shrink the size of rosters on teams, not increase them. I just really feel for that 13th and 14th player who are with the A team the entire quad only to get dropped on the biggest stage in sport. It just doesn't sit well with me.

Even if Carlini/Hancock doesn't win the VNL, Will Poulter really make a difference in the Olympics given the days left before the games?

They increased the travel roster to 13 for this Olympics, although they kept the medal-winning roster at 12. Taking the 13th player (and in particular the 14th player who has no role except to practice) is a choice teams make. These athletes understand their status and their chances.

So what happens if in the 3rd match a player gets hurt and the 13th player steps in. Do all 13 at that point get a medal or does the injured player now miss out? It does seem dumb to not just let 13 or 14 player roster size.

We're getting smaller roster sizes in everything because it gives poorer/smaller countries more of an even playing field, it's not just vball that's been affected over the years.

they just never expanded when the libero was added.
before, 12 was enough to have 2 of each position.
They're not going to add 100 more players (M+W) to the village.

Wait, I'm a little lost on the math here. 2 additional players * 12 teams * 2 genders is 48 players? Not that it changes the Olympic committee's decision on cost.

It does seem dumb to not just let 13 or 14 player roster size. My understanding based off the 2021 Games, is that anyone who is rostered for a game, would then be eligible to receive a medal. In soccer for example, the Canadians made it a point to make sure all of their players were dressed for at least one game to get everyone a medal. ETA: Yes, there can be 13 medals given out if applicable as per the Paris Competition and Regulations guidelines.

Someone’s got to have the tea though on the extent of these injuries for Poulter/Plummer. I need answers 😭👀
